(BONUS CHAPTER FOR 45 GOLDEN TICKETS!)
****
From the start, Amon knew that the battle was futile.
Even though armentists were generally weaker than clovists, the gap between a borderline 2nd-Order clovist and a 4th-Tier armentist was still very large.
With each rank up in both classes, the gap between the previous and next rank would grow larger and larger.
And because of that, he knew that it was his loss here.
Furthermore, it was only a matter of time before the guards at the staircase would wake up and join the battle.
At one point, when there were only some seconds left for his mark timeout, he thought of escaping and coming back another day.
However, it was still going to be a problem.
After this raid, the security was going to get even tighter and places would be investigated, trying to find where he entered from.
It would almost become impossible to ever rescue Lily if he did that.
